Article Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer nanoparticles naturally released from cells, playing a crucial role in intercellular communication. They modulate gene expression and regulate physiological and pathological processes, including acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Research has shown that EVs contain a variety of active components, are biocompatible and small in size, and do not trigger immune rejection, making the infusion of exogenous EVs a promising therapeutic tool. With further research, engineering strategies have been proposed to enhance the clinical potential of EVs. These strategies involve modifying either donor cells that secrete EVs or the EVs themselves and can be engineered to circumvent the limitations of native EVs. In this review, an overview of the biological properties of native EVs is provided and the current therapeutic potential of native and engineered EVs in treating ALI/ARDS, along with the latest research findings, is summarized. The challenges and opportunities for clinical translation of EVs as a novel therapeutic tool are also discussed, offering new insights into the treatment of ALI/ARDS using EV engineering technology.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous structures consisting of lipid bilayers that are released by most cell types and serve as important mediators of intercellular communication. The HEK293T cell line model has gained considerable attention from the scientific community, particularly in the fields of engineering and drug delivery. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of systematic comparisons of the most prevalent EV isolation methodologies for HEK293T in terms of recovery and specificity.

Schistosome parasites are known to modulate host immune responses, which is achieved in part through the release of excretory/secretory (ES) products, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). During chronic schistosomiasis, increased regulatory responses are found, which include enhanced IL-10 production by B (Breg) cells. ES products from schistosome eggs are able to induce IL-10 production by B cells.

In the field of lung transplantation (LTx), the survival of lung transplant recipients (LTRs) is limited by events such as primary graft dysfunction (PGD), infections, and acute rejection (AR), which promote the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, have emerged as key players in LTx because of their roles in immune regulation, inflammation, and antigen presentation. EVs carry immunologically active molecules such as MHC class I/II proteins, cytokines, and lung self-antigens (SAgs), suggesting their involvement in infections and both AR and CLAD.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with ischemic stroke accounting for the majority of cases. Intercellular communication is critical to its prognostic impact, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an emerging important mechanism. EVs are increasingly recognized as key mediators of crosstalk between neurons and glial cells, affecting processes such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and tissue repair.

Wound healing has been extensively studied through the lens of inflammatory disorders and cancer, but limited attention has been given to hematophagy and arthropod-borne diseases. Hematophagous ectoparasites, including ticks, subvert the wound healing response to maintain prolonged attachment and facilitate blood-feeding. Here, we unveil a strategy by which extracellular vesicles (EVs) ensure blood-feeding and arthropod survival in three medically relevant tick species.
